STALKED: Kelly, aka The London Chatter, Blogger

21 March 2014

For a while I have been meaning to start my 'StalkerRoll' or blogroll as it's known in the normal blogging world, therefore, over the next month I will delving deep into the style worlds of some of my favourites. Starting with one very gorgeous and talented little lady - Kelly Eastwood, who is the voice behind the popular blog, The London Chatter. She is not only a style queen, but also has an extraordinarily unique blogging voice, you'll know what I mean when you start following her blog - one word.. addictive!

What do you do and
what do you love about your job?

I write 'The London
Chatter,' a lifestyle and fashion blog. I love that no one day is ever
the same for me and I am consistently meeting wonderfully colourful, creative
and passionate people. I can also frequently work in my pyjamas - what's
not to love?!

In between a
smattering of acting successes in my early twenties, I enjoyed a part-time job
at the (now closed) boutique 'Coco Ribbon' in Notting Hill which inspired me to
get work experience at several fashion magazines and subsequent jobs in styling
and personal shopping. Just over 2 years ago, after a big acting job fell
through and I felt in dire need of a regular creative outlet, I started 'The
London Chatter.'

In 2020 in your
opinion what will be the most prominent media type - print or online?

I'm sure there will be
a whole new medium which feeds us our news by 2020, perhaps through touch (you
heard it here first folks!) but nothing will ever beat pouring over a crisp,
weighty new edition of Vogue, regardless how many easier ways there are to fit
that slice of monthly heaven into your handbag.

How would you describe
your personal style?

Classically eclectic with red lipstick.

What do you love about
LFW and what do you hate?!

I love the breaks
between shows at Somerset House where I can sit outside with an
extra-hot-vente-soya-milk-chai-tea-latte (yup, I'm one of those) and
people/outfit watch... Pure joy. I hate that at the end of each day
during the week my perfected strut inevitably ends up as a crippled hobble home
and the blisters that follow are ruthless.

Favourite store in
London?

That's like asking to
pick my favourite kitten (Harry or Lloyd... Lloyd or Harry...) so I will pick a
few; Liberty of London (there's not a more beautiful shop to be found in the
whole of Christendom), Topshop (a giant candy-store for adults) and Austique (a
girlie haven).

Favourite restaurant?

The Wolseley on
Piccadilly (make sure to have an ice-cold silver tumbler of Black Velvet) and
La Bodega Negra, the tacotastic hacienda-style Mexican resturant in Soho.
